I dont know why im excited, but the possibilities on this stuff is endless. I couldnt find any threads on this stuff, but it looks bad ass.

the only one that looks decent is the dry carbon roof look alike.

everything else screams fail. that shiny interior makes me want to eat my eyeballs, shit them out, and eat them again so they will never see anything as bad ever again.

i think the first pic looks ok (the nsx interior).... but the pics in the second link you posted looks terrible. the roof looks like matte black from far away. looks so tacky.

as far as weight savings from having carbon interior trim, the weight savings wold be insignificant.
it would be like saying, yeah the beach weighs less because I took a spoonful of sand home in my shoe.
looks okay to me, I am guessing they are just bad pictures.

If this isn't rice then I don't know what is... Kinda funny how real carbon fiber is actually cheaper per square foot than this material...

I dont get it. It looks like a carbon fiber sticker to put over things that arent carbon fiber. Might as well cover everything in bumper stickers. If that is what it is i think i will cry. Whether its from laughter or depression is still undecided.

If this is the stuff I think it is, it looks REALLY good.

We had a customer wrap his Murcielago in this stuff. It's actually textured like carbon weave too, it's not "flat" if that makes sense.

Both the Murcielago and Bike turned out great.

This is a pretty good product for those who just like the CF look, but dont have parts manufacturered.

It definately makes sense for interior trim pieces. If CF is the look you are going for.


Dirty,
Is this the exact product you used on that bike? Cause im interested in some this material if its the matte finish.

better to use on interior pieces than real cf.


Don't fool youself, nobody actually uses cf interior bits to save weight, they do it because it looks cool...

Exactly.

People are so bent out of shape about someone getting something just cause it looks good and isnt' functional. You're fuckin aero doesn't do shit on our car at 60-100mph either but no one complains about that.

This shit doesn't look that bad actually. Might be fun for some parts on my bike actually.

Yes, it is the 3M Di-Noc vinyl that I used. I have a few people who are interested in the 26 sq/ft I have left. If those few fall through within the next week, I will part out in custom sizes.

This vinyl is an actual textured weave pressed on to an adhesive backing. As stated above, it looks, feels, and reflects just like real carbon fiber.

I wa wa wa wonder.

I personally think a helmet would be impossible to "wrap"

The contours of some items like fenders and dashboards would also create some challenges if the product doesnt have enough elasticity. And thats the reason why most vinyl jobs look like ass . . . . cause they end up applying small patchwork strips of the product.

By the photos ive seen so far, it would seem that this product conforms well to those shapes. But a helmet? I doubt it.

Actually, if you go with CF Fabric, there is quite a bit of elasticity.
Read the BMW link above, that's what got me started to wrap my interior.

I bought my fabric from the same source as the link below, a lot cheaper than the CF vinyl. It comes in 4 different colors as well.

So far, I've only got around to wrap the glove box. I'll post some pictures of the edges, it turned out fairly good as it's my 1st diy project.

Actually the 3m stuff can stretch, and with a heat gun you can get it to conform to surfaces better than the Fabric IMO. It has the dry matte look, and its reusable/water proof. I think it looks better in person than in the pictures. I saw a Lotus completely wrapped in this stuff at a C&C meet a while back.

Wave_s13
01-11-2010, 12:01 PM
^ Ah, didn't know the 3m stuff can stretch.

The glove box will be re-wrap again, since it was my first trial.

I paid about $30 CAD/yard (52" x 36").

So glove box is about 16" x 10"? So about $3 worth of fabric?
I used 3M Super 77 to glue the fabric.

Thats what i thought but after looking at the S2K in the link provided in the 2nd page it looked sick and got me interested in doing it to my Kouki S14(just calculating on the final cost of it before final decision).

I don't think its rice bc it looks sick and cost a lot of money if done right.

This looks like a fantastic idea for a flat looking car, take frp pieces, fix em up how they need to be fitted nicely and then wrap instead of paint. should be interesting..im contemplating this with my full car frp pieces... why not. Cheaper than paint and looks bad ass.

I am just wondering how long it would last and how it would be taken care of.

Post links to that s2000 please. This will look really badass on my track car methinks :)

Besides, most of the 'carbon' kits that are sold are just frp covered in carbon so woopie do. REAL moulded lightweight carbon parts cost an arm and a leg heh. This is of course just for looks :)

How would it sustain washing, rain, dirt, how would it be protected or whatever.. how would it be waxed if at all.Curious seriously...

damn, its come a long way from what the "carbon" vinyl used to look like. Might be cool for covering some plastic pieces but the whole body panels/cars is kind of ricer.

im with this guy^^..it defeats the puspose of real carbon fiber, ya it looks cool.. not tryna bash it at all.. just not my cup of tea, but to each his own.. I would do interior pieces at most, definately not my entire car

My review is this stuff is sub-par. Even when heated it cools quickly and isn't adesive enough. It's hard to bend and I don't even know how people manage to do large dips like the cup holders or cigarette lighter.

Shipping was crap too; they placed in it a weak ass box which was wet and a quarter of the wrap was bent.

Not worth the $100 bucks

^Not enough skill = fail.

That's why there are professional shops that do it

I've spent last half a week googling this stuff, it's ridiculously awesome.

Those fancy gold and chrome cars are also vynl wrapped (90% of them).

Its called "Ive been installing vinyl for almost 10 years" its not something you are just going to do right away. You should have experimented with a little bit cheaper stuff first, then step it up to the expensive stuff.

Hope mine gets here today, im going to use it for the black B pillar covers.

I wanna wrap my CF hood with Dry CF wrap..but if your gonna wrap your OEM hood with that stuff it makes you look retarded and ricey when someone lifts up your hood and says "i thought this was carbon fiber" lol

^You just made an unfunny. Calling a person with a non real cf hood wrapping with cf retarded when you dont have a real dry carbon hood but a fake frp one layered with carbon and then you're cool by wrapping it with fake carbon. OKAY THEN.

That makes you more stupid when yours already looks like wet carbon.

At least the non frp/carbon whatever person is doing it for looks while you already have the look and are being the real fake double fake lol.

The benefit in my opniion of this is not having to paint a car (eg; in my case i have a full frp body and i don't wana paint. This saves me time and money and at the same time looks neat).

So.. uuh.. ya.

I think most people are using the vinyl linked here
3M Di-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl : Carbon Fiber Gear (http://www.carbonfibergear.com/direct/3m-di-noc-carbon-fiber-vinyl)

instead of the "stickers" linked here
http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/

But I'm not certain

edit: looking into it more, they look like the same product

Don't fool youself, nobody actually uses cf interior bits to save weight, they do it because it looks cool...

fucking truth right there! I would rather have real CF on stuff that would actually save weight, and wrap stuff I want to look cf because it DOES look good... even though I would paint CF body parts...

Real Carbon Fiber in Pre-Preg form... No Mixing Chemicals, No Messy Resin all over the place, and It will Cue in UV Sunlight (especially on a Hot Summer Day).

If You want to do this over metal you will need to use Epoxy Primer, a layer of e-glass, then the Carbon Pre-Preg.

Yes... vinyl is cool for stickers!

Obviously you haven't seen this shit in person. Now im not saying covering a whole car in it is cool but little trim pieces and other things that would see no benefit from being made in real carbon fiber, it is perfect for. Not to mention its cost and ease of installation vs using the real stuff. And ive messed with real carbon before and this stuff literally looks like real dry weave.

i like this on the interior like everyone else is saying. Smaller pieces are okay, but hoods, trunks, roofs, etc. can get to look tacky if the wrong material is used, or if they fucked it up

i have a bunch of this stuff, and since its so hard to find a black un cracked HUD dash im thinking about wrapping it..

agreed! I have a small crack on my dash that drives me insane. I think it looks fantastic wrapped around interior pieces. Gives our cars a much more modern look, and it is a good solution to some of the AGE problems our cars have on the interior. I want to wrap my dash, and all my trim with it, and then reupholster the carpet to a nice black color. shit will look good.
